A well presented bach with extra space in garage. Decks for sunny meals. Well equipped and has comfortable beds. All of our party of 7 adults were happy. Lisa was excellent with communication throughout & helpful and gracious when we accidentally broke something. The location was amazing...close to beach, cafe, shops and we had a great stay here. Highly recommend.

A great place to stay for a beach holiday. Really close to the beach, and handy to shops and cafes. Comfortable and quiet on a back section, with off street parking. Bach is fully furnished with everything you could want for a beach holiday, even multi channel TV for those rare rainy days.

Great stay in well-appointed bach in great location

This was a lovely clean bach, that more than met our needs and expectations. Location was fantastic, and it was great for our dog. We were so pleased of the heat pump on a couple of 30+ degrees and windy days. We will definitely return.

Rippey Family Vacation

This is our 5th year holidaying at Waihi Beach and 2nd year staying at Dillion Delight. It’s perfect beach house for our family. Short walk to the beach and Flat White (yummy) and its a lovely walk to shops. Due to the weather being on the wetter side we stumbled a cross an amazing local artist Jess (from Ranger Studio) who was holding rookie art classes that our daughter loved, she ended up doing 3 classes. When the sun came out, it was swimming and boogie board time. Dillion Delight is a home away home that has everything you need, including heaps of beach goodies to use. Lisa is a gem to deal with and we can’t wait to book our next holiday at Dilion Delight.
